Object description

Case and Design

The Rolex Oyster Precision reference 6512, known as the 'Veriflat', is designed with a 34mm water-resistant Oyster case. The profile of the watch is notably thin, measuring approximately 6mm in depth, excluding the crystal.

The case exhibits a symmetrical form, with the auction description noting the presence of clear hallmarks and visible factory finishing on the undersides of the lugs. The design is intended to provide a low-profile aesthetic while adhering to the technical standards of the manufacturer's Oyster cases.

Dial and Hands

The silver-colored dial features a sunburst finish and is appointed with applied hour indices. The handset is executed in the 'dauphine' style. A notable feature is the subsidiary seconds register located on the lower half of the dial, which is described as having a concentric design.
